Immediate audible alerts - thanks to selectable 105 dB and 90 dB settings
Dual-volume circuitry allows choice between 105 dB and 90 dB alarm profiles, producing clear, attention-grabbing tones. A dedicated speaker delivers sound levels intended to reach carers in nearby rooms.
Loud alerts enable faster responses from carers across a care setting, helping reduce the time residents remain unattended after a fall or departure from bed or chair.
Secure fit and tamper resistance - with spring-loaded clip and secure battery door
A spring-loaded clip fastens to wheelchair frames or flat surfaces while a cord anchors to a resident's clothing, and a tool-free battery door locks shut and will not open if dropped. The design makes deliberate or accidental battery removal more difficult.
Strong attachment and a tamper-resistant battery compartment keep the alarm operational and make disabling the unit harder, maintaining continuous monitoring for vulnerable residents.
Built for durability - with independent 500-drop test clearance
Independent laboratory testing confirmed the unit continued to function after a 500-drop test, indicating reinforced casing and internal mounting. Critical components are secured to withstand knocks and falls common in care environments.
Durable construction reduces the likelihood of malfunction after drops or rough handling, lowering replacement needs and downtime in busy care settings.
